In a recent development, National Football League (NFL) players have been prohibited from participating in gambling activities at Las Vegas casinos during the upcoming Super Bowl final set to commence in mid-February. The restriction specifically targets athletes involved in the Super Cup competition's climax, with details about the competing teams yet to be disclosed.
Players from the two final teams will be barred from engaging in any form of gambling or placing bets during their stay in Las Vegas. However, those from teams that did not make it to the finals are permitted to visit casinos, provided they adhere to the NFL's stringent gambling policy, which includes refraining from betting on American football.
Notably, Las Vegas is slated to host the Super Bowl in 2024, with the final scheduled for February 11. Industry analysts are predicting a significant surge in betting activity during the Super Bowl, with the American Gaming Association forecasting that 50.4 million Americans will collectively wager a staggering $16 billion on the tournament.
